Redfern's Sulawesi Orchids expedition explores the exuberant orchids and extremely rich plant diversity of this remarkable Indonesian island. In addition to remarkable endemic orchids, we will encounter spectacular pitcher plants, experience some of the island’s extraordinary tribal history and indulge in an array of fantastic local cuisine.
This expedition offers excellent opportunities to observe and photograph Sulawesi’s iconic traditional cultures and many of the island’s most spectacular animals, birds, and plants, but especially orchids and carnivorous pitcher plants. During our 2013 Sulawesi expedition, two new species of pitcher plant were discovered, along with a new species of Paphiopedilum orchid now named P. robinsonianum.
